Abstract
My culminating experience (CE) at Berklee College of Music has been a transformative journey, focused on writing from personal experiences. I personified the emotions from these stories into characters and created miniature worlds around each one. These worlds are deeply personal and are brought to life through unique vocal production and innovative techniques. My work blends elements of folk, rock, and electronic music, resulting in a distinctive "Folktronica" style. The production emphasizes doubling acoustic guitars and vocals, and blending traditional acoustic instruments with modern sounds and techniques. Throughout this process, I have acquired new skills in guitar playing, singing, and production, facing various challenges that have shaped my growth as a musician. These challenges, both expected and unexpected, have taught me resilience, adaptability, and the importance of intentionality in my creative process. This journey has not only improved my technical abilities but also deepened my understanding of music as a powerful tool for personal expression and connection.
